I really enjoyed seeing you in 'real', not least because you look so different from your photo on this blog. I hope you enjoyed your hair cut. cheers Sarah This is a complete change of subject…but I am doing day 27 of the challenge and caught up with your seesmic comment on Kate Foy’s blog.

With your posts, I submit my comment as usual, then the comment is displayed with a message along the top that tells me that it is awaiting moderation. This does two things. It tells me that the comment submission is successful, and it tells me that if the poster is vigilant my comment will soon appear on the screens of other viewers. Better that than nothing at all, which tells me nothing about the success of the submission. It could mean that my well worded and spellchekced comment has disappeared into cyberspace :-) Ka kit @Christine - I guess the poster never really finds out what their comment screens look like unless they sit with a commenter.

Wonder if I did something to make that happen? That’s good. Wonder if I did something to make that happen?

I guess since I have the ability to subscribe to comments right on each post, that someone would use that. And I'm sure I aggravate it at times when I am out of the office and can't moderate right away. It an interesting dilemma, since I also would really be upset to discover some of the comments that have gotten through akismet at times posted on my blog. I realize people who use the web all the time would realize it was spam, I just wonder if my customers who aren't heavy web users would understand? Interesting.

This is relief indeed and a great improvement on a blank screen showing nothing but the moderation message - some don't even do that. Spot ya! @Christine - I find, on your site, that my comment is displayed when sent, despite the moderation being in place.

Not infrequently on this challenge I've had to go back to re-send my comment. I always check the post to see if my comment arrived and, of course, comment moderation doesn't permit this. So in instances when comments are moderated I'm never sure if I've said anything till later. It's like talking to someone in a noisy crowd, not hearing what I've said and wondering if anyone else had.

Always love the requests, it makes it easier than trying to guess what might be interesting. Great suggestions Sue, I think I can do that.

Which is better right or left aligned?  Tips for knowing when photos will detract from your posts.  I’ve definitely found your series on blog headers and patterns really helpful.  Can I say dangerous for you to ask me what more?  Well I would like to learn more about using photo’s in posts e.g. ideal size when using text wrap?
